One rulebook, applied instantly, every time
Every request runs through the same deterministic engine. The rules that protect players are enforced first and cannot be overridden. Try a few requests and watch the desk reason through them.
- Warm-up and peak-hour rules are hard constraints
- Priority tiers settle the scarce courts
- Every decision shows the rule behind it
Booked over the WhatsApp thread they already have
Players and coaches can request, confirm or reschedule a practice slot straight from WhatsApp. Every reply is checked against the tournament's rules first, and the slot lands on the schedule the moment it's confirmed.
- Plain-language requests, answered in seconds
- Nothing to install, on the number they already use
- Confirmed slots sync straight to the desk's schedule

Good to know
Who is this for?
Maindraw is for the people who run a professional tournament's practice desk, and for the players, coaches and hitting partners who depend on it. The desk allocates practice courts and match warm-ups; everyone else just requests and checks the schedule.
How fast can I get a tournament set up?
Add your draw and roster, or forward the order of play, and the desk pulls in player names, countries and rankings automatically. Most events are ready to run in minutes, no manual data entry.
How does the scheduler stay consistent?
It treats the ATP, WTA and ITF practice guidelines as rules it cannot break: warm-up first, peak-hour partner rules, doubles court-sharing, the five-tier priority order and the top-player caps. Judgement only ever chooses between requests the rules already allow equally, so the same request gets the same answer every time.
What does it cost?
Organisers pay once per tournament to run a real event. Players, coaches and hitting partners never pay. Book a guided walkthrough and we will show you the desk on a real draw.
Is it affiliated with the ATP, WTA or ITF?
No. Maindraw is independent and applies the published practice guidelines. Every tournament can override the defaults with its own rules.
